CrazyCat Pillar of the Community United States 556 Posts	Posted 04/05/2012 7:12 pm I recently got a pretty nice looking 1964-D Lincoln Cent while roll hunting when I noticed that it had a huge blob covering a pretty significant chunk of the reverse. I'm wondering if I should clean it or just leave the cent alone. I'm afraid cleaning will damage it... It looks like a normal penny until... BAM! Report this Post to the Staff
